Routine dental exams, hygiene cleanings, polishings, and other preventive care at our Trail dental office are key to protecting our patients' oral health.
A Prevention-First Approach
The dentists and support team at Trail Dental & Surgery believe in a prevention-first approach when offering treatment for our patients.
In addition to supporting your at-home oral hygiene routine, regularly scheduled dental cleanings and exams at our office in Trail give us the opportunity to prevent common oral health problems such as tooth decay and gum disease from developing in the first place.
Through regular routine preventive cleanings and examinations, our team of dental professionals at Trail Dental & Surgery can help you achieve your smile goals and maintain a healthy smile for life. We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic!
Professional Examinations
When you visit us for your dental exam, you give our dentists the opportunity to diagnose and treat oral health issues in the earliest stages, before they become more serious.
At our practice, routine dental examinations typically include:
- Digital X-rays
- Oral cancer screening
- Examination of teeth, gums, and mouth
Professional Cleanings
In tandem with your professional examination, you will receive hygiene cleanings to help prevent disease and decay from developing, or if there is evidence of health issues, from progressing any further.
During a professional cleaning, your hygienist or dentist will:
- Remove plaque from your teeth
- Remove stains from teeth and polish them
- Remove tartar (calculus) above and beneath the gum line
